Beer and the Danes

Beer plays a significant role in Danish culture. Did you know that Danes have been drinking beer for around 5000 years? It used to be the women’s job to brew beer, until man took over, in the Middle Ages. Beer was thought to have healing benefits and it used to be used as medicine as well.

Today, the prefered types of beer in Denmark, are pilsner and classic. Statistically speaking, an average Dane drinks around 65 liters of beer every year.
